"Hired to do valuation of a manufactured home - not on land. Gave appraisal comparison properties included land. therefore not an accurate valuation. Thought salesperson understood nuance. "

Commercial Real Estate Appraising - We appraise the "big box" commercial buildings. Machinery dealerships, warehouses, repair shops and local industrial buildings fit in the category of "big boxes". We can refer you to very well qualified Certified General Real Property appraisers for specialized use buildings like motels, restaurants, Laundromats and strip malls. Financial Consultation - All three of our associates have been lenders previously during their careers ranging from ten years to 44 years. That is a wealth of experience from which to draw. We've had the opportunity to watch literally hundreds of family businesses develop, expand, mature and then transition to the next generation. We're not tax or legal experts. We just know what has worked for other businesses, other families and other generations. Give us a call to set up a consultation! Thank you for considering Benchmark Agribusiness Inc. We look forward to meeting you!

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.

Although the exact return on your investment will depend on the size, style, and quality of your awning, in general, awnings do add resale value to a house by providing more usable space. If an awning doesn’t do much in the way of monetary gains due to its low installation costs, it promises to provide an excellent appeal factor to a potential home buyer.

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

While a single shelf here and there doesn’t add value to your home, a built-in bookcase can increase your home’s value under the right circumstances. Not every built-in bookcase works in your favor here—those built from high-quality materials tend to provide a better ROI. If you’re looking for your bookcase to work for your home’s value, consider having a professional build it with luxury hardwood.
